Prunus brigantina (alpine apricot)

(1/1)

kernol:
Hello, has anyone grown Prunus brigantina (Briançon apricot/marmot plum/alpine aprico)? It's the only apricot-like wild species native to Europe.
Is it worth growing it? What does it taste like? Is there much difference to a regular apricot tree (especially taste-wise)? Where to get seeds of it?

Would love to hear if someone has experience growing this tree.

Florian:
I have no experience but a quick Google search gives me the impression that it is not that good for eating out of hand, more for cooking/ preserving and apparently an oil is made from its seeds.
